I think its just not something that has gotten alot of attention.  We could
certainly do something simmilar to the infrastructure TCP has for pluggable
congestion control in SCTP, but I don't think anyone has done much
experimentation determining the various effects that different control
algorithms have on SCTP throughput, given its different operational modes.
